| (0.49392208695652) | (Eph 1:6) |
2 sn God’s grace can be poured out on believers only because of what Christ has done for them. Hence, he bestows his grace on us because we are in his dearly loved Son. |
| (0.49392208695652) | (Eph 1:23) |
2 sn The idea of all in all is either related to the universe (hence, he fills the whole universe entirely) or the church universal (hence, Christ fills the church entirely with his presence and power). |

| (0.49392208695652) | (Phi 1:22) |

| (0.49392208695652) | (Col 1:19) |

| (0.49392208695652) | (Phm 1:19) |
1 tn Grk “I wrote” Here ἔγραψα (egraya) is functioning as an epistolary aorist. Paul puts it in the past tense because from Philemon’s perspective when he reads the letter it will, of course, already have been written. |

| (0.49392208695652) | (1Pe 2:19) |
1 tn Grk “For this [is] favor/grace,” used as a metonymy of that which pleases him, which he looks on with favor (cf. BDAG 1079 s.v. χάρις 2). Cf. 1 Pet 2:20. |

| (0.49392208695652) | (2Pe 2:6) |
1 tn Or “ruin,” or “extinction.” The first part of this verse more literally reads “And [if] he condemned to annihilation the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, by turning them to ashes.” |
| (0.49392208695652) | (1Jo 2:9) |
1 tn Grk “the one saying he is in the light and hating his brother.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” because of the contrast present in the two clauses. |
| (0.49392208695652) | (1Jo 2:16) |
